Sunset Heights is a historic area in El Paso, Texas; which has existed since the latter part of the 1890s. Many wealthy residents have had their houses and mansions built on this hill. Although some buildings have been renovated to their former glory but many have been neglected and have deteriorated. During the Mexican Revolution, a widely popular Mexican revolutionary leader, Doroteo Arango (as known as Francisco "Pancho" Villa), owned and resided in this area during the 1910s.[citation needed] During the 1910 Mexican Revolution many Mexicans fled Mexico and settled in Sunset Heights.[1]

Boundaries

Interstate 10 serves as the southern and western border for the neighborhood. Schuster Avenue cuts it off to the north and El Paso Street is the eastern boundary.[citation needed]
